HELP...Dosage calculation is confusing me

[msteresa97]

I have my first dosage calculation test coming up and I have to score 95% or better on the test. Are there any websites that I can get practice problems from to print out. I am able to understand most dosage calculations but I start to get confused when I have to convert and when there is more than one step to the problem. Any advice will be very appreciated.

Hi, i don't know of any websites, do you have any dosage calculation textbooks? Our school gave us a practice (paper) test at the orientation meeting to study off of.

I hope these websites help. We had a med calculation class and the textbook was very helpful, but the worksheets the instructor gave are nice. Best of luck to you.:)
